Did you seal the tape in on the inside of the rim? I used two or three coats of clear plastidip. Protects the tape from heat, moisture, and dust... ultralight.

Mine was taped very simple on the outside, one layer of ultra strong all-wheater tape. It came loose on several places, after rain, dirt and brake dust slowly began to undermine the tape. It gives the impression that I brake like an idiot! But, it could be the effect of the brake duct under the car as seen on the picture I last posted. It pushes air into the wheel and thus water, dirt and brake dust into the tape where it piled up. So far my theory ... which is plausible.
